Card Computation

Postby GARYREININGER » Tue Mar 03, 2009 7:18 pm

Hey all,

For years I've used the Board/CD games to practice, and I try to crunch all the numbers for the cards. This chews up a lot of time for me though. Any ideas on how I can more easily figure out total bases/OBP/etc.? Thanks for the time

Yes sir,
You can order the "Ratings Book" or disc from Strat-O-Matic. It has every possibly number for every single player, so you do not have to count chances. I would not start a season without it! It is only about 13 dollars and it is worth every penny!
There are also cheat sheets and player ratings on SOM WORLD .COM. It is an on line magazine that costs 10 dollars per year. Good luck!

This is what I've used throughout my short SOM career. Never used a ratings disk or any other site for that matter. Works for me!

Diamond Dope is great for the raw data. No doubt.

Of course, it doesn't have the 200n data on it. It also doesn't tell you whether that 4 fielder at SS has a good enough bat to overcome the defense. Nor does it factor in the running ability of the player into their overall worth. You have to do that on your own.

Great tool for raw data and if you have the knowledge and ability to factor in all the different elements.

You also, IMHO, have to be able to be very objective so that your own biases don't come into play. Tough to do for many people I think.

What ever works for you. Like I said, you have to have some system or access to raw data to evaluate these guys. It's too hard to be successful without. At least for me!

Wavy,

I can see it for Murphy (although you need to change your URL to be http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=1386&year=2008&pool=2008)

But how to you get other players doing this?

Also, for Aikens you have a .93 chance of getting a HBP. Looks like it's 1 to me.

.93 is correct.
When counting the number of chances, then 1 is correct, but the .93 is the actual percentage.
